Shaw must change his football brain, Rashford is desperate – Mourinho

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has once again criticized defender Luke Shaw, saying that the full-back must “change his football brain”.

Shaw returned to action in United’s 1-1 draw at home with Everton on Tuesday night and played a key role in their late equalizer. The 21-year-old’s shot on target was blocked by Ashley William’s hand and the referee pointed to the spot.

But despite making a positive impact after replacing Ashley Young in the 65th minute, Mourinho still had strong words for the England international.

“[Shaw] has lots of potential, but the football brain and the professional brain has to be with the talent,” Mourinho said.

“He has to change his football brain.

“He was doing things in the second half when he was reacting to my voice. If he was on the other side, for sure he would not do it.

“I was thinking for him and leading his performance. If he was on the other side it would not be the same and at his level it is not possible. He has to improve and we have to help.”

On Marcus Rashford, who is struggling to score goals this season, Mourinho added: “The kid is desperate. He doesn’t score a goal since September, the only thing he deserves is support, no criticism”
